The surfaces for scratch art have evolved as well as the art itself. Before Ampersand’s Scratchbord was used for scratching techniques, there was heavy paper coated with india ink available, which is still in use by many artists. But now, Ampersand is the proud contributor of the only archival wood panel specifically designed for scratchboard art.
